Moonbat totalitarians won’t just ban words and the thoughts that might be expressed with those words. They will ban all sorts of things — even fruits:

41-year-old Robert Pattison went to introduce himself to his fellow firefighters at Engine 55 at Joy and Southfield in Detroit. Second Battalion Chief Shawn McCarty calls it a tradition for firefighters.

Part of the tradition is to come bearing gifts, usually donuts. But Pattison had a different idea:

Pattison, a probationary firefighter, decided to bring a watermelon wrapped in a pink ribbon. We’re told some African-American firefighters were instantly offended, since 90 percent of the people who work at Engine 55 are black.

You can guess what happened next. He was fired.

Pattison says it was not a joke, and it is unlikely the newbie intended to offend his fellow firefighters. To some people, a watermelon is just food. But intent is irrelevant when it comes to political incorrectness.

No doubt fried chicken would have resulted in the same punishment. Enjoy fried chicken and watermelon while you can; eventually they will be abolished, lest others commit Pattison’s infraction.

All stores should stop selling watermelons and only allow them to be distributed through local welfare offices so no one will be offended. If fact all Ethnic food and products should be banned from sale to prevent accidental racism or cultural appropriation. This should happen immediately.

The guy is a dumb a$$. Do you really want him as a fireman? At least save the watermelon joke for when you have been there for a few months and have made some friends. All this will do is cost the taxpayers more money as we paid for his training, now he will sue for wrongful termination, win some cash and probably go apply to be a cop.
